I’m flying LH F HKG-FRA-VIE on one ticket and LX C VIE-ZRH-CDG on another on the same day. Is it possible to check my luggage through to my final destination (CDG) upon check-in at Hong Kong?
Thanks
Thanks

Since you're flying F you'll most probably be alright, just have the onward ticket available for the agent. I believe it's been reported that LX F lounge dragons might not let you in the F lounge in ZRH, but others are more up to date than me I'm sure.

Just give the checkin agent the PNR for your onward flights.

Cas_de Thank you for the info. I reviewed the link you provided and I suspect that P class is upgradable for M&M members but not necessarily for *A members. I am trying to upgrade using UA mileage and will try submitting an upgrade request and see what happens. I will report back on what I learn. Thanks again for the insights.

Hi, will be flying AKL-BKK-ZRH longhaul on TG J to see friends in Sep. Hold *G with THAI.
We also plan to visit Malaga, Spain before we depart. Should we buy fares ZRH-AGP now? or is there a likelihood of sales at some time between now and mid-year?
The dates are a fixed week, so almost no flex. At present fares are around CHF200-240 for classic economy return, depening on direct or via GVA.
Many thanks.

It's a decent price. Could get lower, but I wouldn't count on it outright, after all, it is still the high season in Mediterranean.
Considering all the cost of the trip already, is the savings of maybe CHF 50 gonna make that much of a difference to risk the price going way up?

also, keep in mind that any LX flights from GVA will feature the lovely concept of BOB.

Thanks. I have no sense of LX pricing for intra-Europe flights, so was more interested in whether or not there is a pattern to sales, or if I should buy now. Not looking to nickel and dime this at all, and would prefer a 'full service' carrier rather than a LCC precisely given that we are flying as far as humanly possible from New Zealand!
And also a thought to consider - LX does not include a free bag even for *G in the basic economy, so count with that as well.

I emailed [email protected] about my delayed baggage and got a feedback ID number. It's been a week and I have heard nothing back regarding compensation. I called the general customer service line line and was told the customer relations department does not have a phone number! I'm not trying to get hundreds of dollars back...just what's fair (to cover 2 jackets and a beanie or 2), but they make this so difficult. Any suggestions or do I just have to wait?

Indirect flights on LH will likely not amuse Mrs TK, who prefers point-point (unless teleporting becomes a possibility
), but I'll have a look.

Check-through Baggage LH -> BA
Will LH let you check-through bags to a BA flight on a separate ticket? I wasn't able to locate any guidance or policy on check-through baggage for ex-*A itineraries. If it makes any difference I am United *G, flight is UA coded, and all legs (incl. BA) are in C.
Cheers,

Searching for flight upgrades
How can I see which flights have the option to use miles to upgrade to a higher fare class?
United, for example, has an option in their search. All I can find for Lufthansa is that it seems like you have to first book a flight before you can see whether that option is available. Is there a trick I'm missing?
